The effect of support on the  acetic acid decomposition over palladium catalysts for hydrogen production was investigated. Pd/SiO2, Pd/Nb2O5, Pd/La2O3 and Pd/Fe2O3 catalysts were  characterized and catalytically evaluated.   Pd/Fe2O3 was the best catalyst for acetic acid conversion and showed major hydrogen selectivity, whereas for Pd/SiO2 there was not any H2 formation.
